Yea, in my first post of this topic I state I prefer all offense as long as I meet the HP threshold.
Regardless, raids are raids because multiple people can run it. If you can solo them, great on you but the intent is to have multiple people help each other out. It'd be like complaining how much one keeps dying in a party based dungeon in a MMO trying to solo it.
When you get to where you can solo it (or simply know what you're doing as like this user here who clearly does), having extra HP is unnecessary when deciding over it or more damage.
The end damage works out to about the same, but you lose the HP buff! And your damage is still less than if you'd used an elemental DMG buff, making it more or less useless outside of a Burst-hour full raid scenario where that initial Burst will constitute the majority of your final damage.

End damage would be higher going ATK/Burst than ATK/HP. Your damage would be more if you chose the Element DMG over either ATK/HP or ATK/Burst because all SSR eidolons with both attack and HP/Burst are all limited to character ATK and not element DMG. My posts was just a comparison between choosing HP or Burst as I didn't see the option in the poll and there is no ElementDMG/HP to compare in the first place.
Unless I missed a eidolon with it.
Element DMG = Element ATK btw, just using DMG to make it easier to differentiate between the two types in my post.

What's the different between element attack up and character element attack up?
What are you basing this on?
They're different factors in the damage equation. Character attack up is additive with assault skill as well as attack modifiers from most buffs and debuffs, while elemental DMG is multiplicative with those (and additive with other elemental modifiers).

The example was in a scenario the ATK buff % values are all the same while one has HP and the other has Burst. And while not everyone can get gatcha units, not everyone can cap events eidolons either.
Though after taking another browse at the SSR list on the JP wiki, it seems that when it comes to this situation, if comparing same break limit gatcha eidolons, ATK/Burst > ATK/HP but if comparing only event eidolons, then ATK/HP > ATK/Burst. So in short:
Gatcha ATK/Burst Eidolon > Gatcha ATK/HP > Event ATK/HP > Event ATK/Burst
